Ep. 80 | The Spiritual Danger of Distraction

from Meditations · host Called to More

Are you finding it harder to be present with God? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the subtle spiritual danger of distraction and how easily our attention can be pulled away from what truly matters. What begins as harmless curiosity can quietly fragment our time, our prayer, and our capacity to listen. Drawing on Scripture and the call to say “Here I am, Lord” in each moment, this reflection invites us to examine how we use our attention and how learning to be present transforms ordinary time into an offering to God.🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 80Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
